FISCAL NOTE, 82ND LEGISLATIVE REGULAR SESSION

May 25, 2011

TO:	Honorable Joe Straus, Speaker of the House, House of Representatives
FROM:	John S O'Brien, Director, Legislative Budget Board
IN RE:	HB2728 by Thompson (Relating to the operation and regulation of charitable bingo.), As Passed 2nd House

No significant fiscal implication to the State is anticipated.

The bill would amend the Occupations Code relating to the operation and regulation of charitable bingo. The bill would further define the term “crime of moral turpitude” and provide for the transfer of a commercial lessor license in certain instances.

Based on the analysis of the Texas Lottery Commission, it is assumed that duties and responsibilities associated with implementing the provisions of the bill could be accomplished by utilizing existing resources.

Local Government Impact

No fiscal implication to units of local government is anticipated.
